Bryan to Interview Jeff Brown on Newest Book, "SoulShaping"

Born in Canada, Jeff Brown did all the things he was supposed to do to become successful in the eyes of the world. He was on the Dean's Honor List as an undergraduate. He won the Law and Medicine prize in law school. He apprenticed with famous criminal lawyer, Eddie Greenspan. It had been Jeff's lifelong dream to practice criminal law and search for the truth in the courtroom.

But then, on the verge of opening a law practice, he heard a little voice inside telling him to stop, just stop. With great difficulty, he honored this voice and began a heartfelt quest for the truth that lived within him. Although he didn't realize it then, he was actually questing for his innate image, the essential being that he came into this lifetime to embody. He was searching for his authentic face.

As part of his journey, Jeff did some cool things. He studied Bioenergetics and did session work with co-founder Alexander Lowen. He practiced as a body-centered psychotherapist. He completed an M.A. in Psychology at Saybrook Graduate School in San Francisco. He also co-founded the Open Heart Gang, a benevolent gang with a heartfelt intention.

Their first act of gratitude is the nearly completed production of a documentary about the life of Bhagavan Das (of Be Here Now fame). Called Karmageddon, this film includes wonderful dialogues with Jeff and spiritual teacher Ram Dass, yogis Seane Corn and David Newman, and chanters Deva Premal and Miten.


High Praise for SoulShaping:

"Soulshaping does an excellent job of demonstrating how we can listen to and follow our soul's guidance in the midst of life."
-Ram Dass, spiritual teacher and author of Be Here Now

"I often refer to the dictionary at the end of this wonderful book to put new words to sacred experiences, fleeting understandings, and the bigger mysteries that seekers have pondered throughout history. The words are like bridges between my little self and my vaster consciousness that is free from fear and open to peace."
-Elizabeth Lesser, author of Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow and cofounder of the Omega Institute


"This book is a role call for the soul. Jeff Brown is the kind of writer who invites you to swim in gasoline and then provides a match. This is no self-help book. This is a summons from the mountaintop and from the trenches. I am so grateful for Brown's journey and his absolute genius in writing."
-Tama J. Kieves, best-selling author of This Time I Dance! Creating the Work You Love

Stay tuned for a deep and contemplative dialogue on the intimacy of shaping, shifting form and consciousness for the extroaordinary in your life's journey.
